Hi there,
I’m Nora – nature lover, and now the proud owner of a small balcony garden!
This blog, BalkaanBloom, was born from a simple desire: to share the joy and peace that plants bring into our lives – and to show how even the smallest terrace can become a thriving green oasis, no matter your space, time, or experience.
Gardening for peace of mind
For me, gardening has always been more than just a hobby – it’s a way to relax, recharge, and reconnect. I studied horticulture back in Hungary, and after moving to the Netherlands, I finally found a home with a little terrace – the perfect place to start my own green journey.
This is the beginning of my balcony garden adventure – with vegetables, herbs, and flowers, fueled by passion and curiosity.
What you’ll find here:
This blog will be a kind of digital diary, documenting how I turn a bare terrace into something beautiful and alive. I’ll share:
- how I plan and build the space from scratch,
- what plants I’m trying out,
- my first successes and inevitable failures,
- how to create a low-cost, low-effort garden that still brings big rewards.
Why am I doing this?
Because I truly believe that gardening is not a luxury – it’s a gift. A small green space can do wonders for your body, your mind, and even your plate.
I hope to inspire others to give it a try – to grow their own food, even just a little. Homegrown veggies are not only healthier and tastier, but the process of growing them is incredibly rewarding. And you don’t need a big yard or a big budget – just a balcony and a bit of curiosity.
If you follow along, we’ll green up city life together! 🌱
Thanks so much for being here – and if you’re gardening on your balcony too, I’d love to hear your story! 💚
